Caitlin of House Sans Merci is the young half-human pilot of a sentient mechanical dragon. Returning from her first soul-stealing raid, she discovers an unwanted hitchhiker.

"Michael Swanwick's twisty tale of a half-human changeling warrior is the third work to be set in his 'Industrialized Faërie' world, the most thoroughly imagined fictional realm since that of J.R.R. Tolkien." ― The Wall Street Journal
"Swanwick's final Faerie novel [is] a thoroughly fascinating meditation on the Nietzschean adventures of his earlier novels." ― Los Angeles Review of Books
"Twisted in the right way, with tart and tricksy language you can swirl around in your mouth like good wine, it is a perfect, perfect book." ―Jane Yolen, World Fantasy Award–winning author
"Discworld meets Faust. They do not like each other. Philip Pullman picks up the pieces." ― Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
